Properly Securing Child
WARNING:
Serious injury or death can result if child is not properly
secured in restraint.
Confirm harness is snug* before each use and after making
any restraint adjustments.
1. Confirm proper restraint installation.
2. To loosen harness: lift harness
adjuster and pull shoulder
straps forward. (Fig. 1)
3. Unfasten harness clip and
harness buckle, and move
harness straps to the sides.
4. Raise head support to its top
position
(see page 32)
and
place child in restraint.
5. Position harness straps around
child and fasten buckle and harness clip. (Figs. 2 & 3)
Confirm harness clip and buckle are properly fastened by
gently tugging on each.
6. Gently pull harness straps upward to snugly fit lap portion
of harness which should fit low on child’s body, across the
hips.
7. Slowly pull adjuster strap
downward to tighten harness
for a comfortable and snug fit
around child. (Fig. 4)
*A snug harness strap should not
allow any slack. It lies in a relatively
straight line without sagging. It
does not press on the child’s flesh or
push the child’s body into an
unnatural position.
